I'm grumpy and if one more person says "this is great isn't it?" I'm going to scream

Nothing works in my flat or the one before.

All windows open, got a fan blowing with the direction of the breeze.

All windows closed, blinds and curtains closed, close off the warmer rooms.

My thermometer shows no difference day to day in my kitchen area.

I was in the loft in my last flat, sloped ceilings and they had zero insulation. Only the top part of the ceiling where it was flat had insulation. The sloped parts of the ceiling were hot to the touch and it got up to 37.5 Celsius over the one summer.

I put my ear thermometer to my metal keyboard and it read 42 Celsius.

The way the house was positioned, the wind used to blow along it and I only had windows front and back, so zero breeze at all.

I've honestly had nightmares like that

I drank so much water but eventually I just stopped sweating.

11pm would roll around, still 35C and when I woke up in the morning it was still about 30C.

I had all my windows open over night.
